- Public Hearing - Planning Commission Approved 11/19/20
On November 19th the City Planning Commission approved the application to construct a five -story, mixed-use project to provide services and 100% affordable supportive housing for the chronically homeless at the Homeless Services Center Campus at the corner of Highway 1 and River Street. The first floor will consist of a new recuperative care center, a behavioral health clinic, and uses related to the upper floor residences. The upper four stories will consist of 120 supportive single room occupancy (SRO) units and one manager’s unit. The units will be used as very-low-income supportive housing for those needing a particularly high level of ongoing supportive services that is uniquely available at this location. The application approval included a Residential Demolition Authorization Permit, Design Permit, Special Use Permit, and a Density Bonus Request to exceed height. As part of the motion to approve the project, the Planning Commission added a condition that requires the applicant provide a Services Plan, as well as a Property Management Plan.
In addition, the Commission recommended that the City Council support the fee waiver that the applicant has requested, with the caveat that the project be required to be 100% affordable at the very low income level in perpetuity. That request will be before the City Council at an upcoming meeting.
Community Meetings/Webinars
On April 2, 2020 Housing Matters held an online Community Engagement Webinar. The webinar introduced the proposed project, which is a new permanent supportive housing building to help address chronic homelessness in Santa Cruz. The project proposes to provide housing and services to individuals who have previously experienced long-term homelessness and need services to be successful. The webinar answered questions and took in feedback from the participants. If you missed the webinar, check it out at Housing Matters.
